Also, am I the only person that doesn't consider his system old? looks rather decent if you ask me.. AMD Athlon systems were much better then the Intel equivalents of the time.

Vaguely similar to my main box, but a bit faster. Old, in a way yes, but not necessarily bad. A bit pokey at times, but the main bottleneck is low-speed Internet. But it all depends what you want to do with it.
